the Project for Public Spaces (PPS)

Project for Public Spaces (PPS) is a nonprofit organization dedicated to creating vibrant public spaces that foster community engagement and enhance quality of life. By promoting the idea of "placemaking," PPS encourages the design and improvement of parks, plazas, and streets to make them more inviting and accessible. They work with communities to understand their needs and aspirations, focusing on how public areas can better serve people. Ultimately, PPS aims to transform underutilized spaces into lively places where individuals can gather, interact, and enjoy their surroundings, thereby strengthening social connections and local culture.
